The A. analyses the occurrence of Daniel in the works by Cyprian. The African bishop often refers to the prophet of the Old Testament in order to offer an example for his Christian community: Daniel is the wise man who, persecuted and harassed by the impious Babylonian emperor, obtains salvation as a reward for his faith and his endurance. Often associated with the three children in the furnace, Daniel is the best model for Christian people of the mid third century, troubled by persecution, pestilence, abuses and risk of apostasy.
